Google Bot Info request

Snap. Got a domain that hasn't been touched by googlebot, even with a good amont of backlinks from my own sites and others I traded with - been around 2 months now

I bought it new, but have no idea if it was 'live' in a previous time, wayback machine shows no record whatsoever of it, although I hear that's not a definitive answer, whois shows no blacklist status, so I have no idea. I actaully sent an email to google asking whether I'd inadvertently bought a domain that they had blacklisted, and if there was anything that could be done if that was the case, but no reply.

On the (somewhat) brighter side, I hear of people that don't get indexed on some domains for up to 4 months and then google decides to visit and index.

My site is well over a year old, is indexed with G and gets a nominal amount of SE traffic. In the last two months or so I've spent alot of time on upgrading the SEO of the pages. No google bot has visited either which I thought was really, really, odd. Especially, since MSN has been eating it up, 224 visits last month, 187 this month. So many I thought I was trapping their bot somewhere. Go figure?
